Well i forgot my info for ich, and sniper replied about level 2 loners. What is everyone's opinion on them. I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing because they don't seem very OP. Loners in general are unused and the increase in level range i believe gives them some more variability.

I get level 3 loners, but to me, level 2 loners seem op, of course depending on the loner. In theory, you can just waltz into someone's base, with no defenses, and take them out easily. Why else would relic make loners extremely pricey and restrict them to level 4? But that's just me.

The best I can think of is to just go for a test run to see. Some experimentation

the level 2 loners are barely able to handle other level 2 creatures. They can possibly be useful to rush an opponents early expo attempts, but become pretty useless past that point.

White elephants what?
Like Bloth said, they can get a few hench kills early on, but they cost like 300 electricity-- I don't think level 2 loners do any more damage than an equivalent-costing team of regular L2's.

That would be lovely, if distractions had any effect whatsofuckingever on you. Seriously, you're playing in five places at once and I don't understand.

I'm talking about Matt specifically-- played against him yesterday and he just overwhelmed me entirely. Bloodbath. Snuck loners into my expos while I was busy elsewhere XD.

I know Loners get used a lot of Raiding.
But it's all down to economics, Loner might be too expensive.
The only thing I can think of is creating a cheaper version of Loner for lower levels. Called Alpha.
So you can justify the cost, Alpha might have some different stats, but guaranteed to be cheaper than Loner for the higher levels.

"A white elephant is an idiom for a valuable but burdensome possession of which its owner cannot dispose and whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) is out of proportion to its usefulness or worth."

i think its you thats bad. not me thats good. You aren't bad, Matt, but Will isn't good either ;D Playing better boils down to two things, micro and macro. Sniper and mut are great at both, while I would say matt and I are good with macro and try to use that in an attempt to make up for lack of micro. If you are unsure of what those are let me know I feel like this needs to be said. We need to play on more TvB maps. The game will be more enjoyable once we do.
